Record boardings... Really we're putting on an aircraft a month... Imagine you board more passengers when you fly more airplanes... I'm not sure you still see the exponential growth in profit...
Hiring... Last I heard they are pumping through 30 and change a month which is about all the training department can handle... Call it poor planning I call it a great problem to have because if we do get sold furlough buffers might be handy.
70 Seater reserve... No worries I got my build up line and they gave me all the open time... 52 hours... and 7 days of reserve for the month. 52 hours doesn't sound like a massive staffing short fall but again I don't work in ops.
IMO we can burn the place down... Run operationally horrible. I have a hunch they still would only be able to run 30 to 40 a month and you would only be screwing your fellow pilots as they will get extended to cover your mess.
Last I checked we work for a broke as$ parent company that is going to need to sell ASA eventually... Comair... same deal. Big D lost $500,000 an hour last quarter and 1,000,000 an hour the quarter before that... In short soon we will have some real b!tching to do when we fight to not get stapled, furloughed, pay cut etc...
In short "Keep your head on a swivel because that's what you have to do when you are in a vicious c%ck fight"
